Figure of Speech Tour 2016
Sun Apr 24, 4:00 PM
Aarcha R S
Giving wheels to artistic dreams, A Slam Dream has launched its first poetry tour and fundraiser. Hitting the road to spread the art of Spoken Word Poetry or Slam Poetry, and give people a chance to fall in love with this rare and mesmerizing art form, Figure of Speech is an opportunity to spread some art and wonder. It is also a fundraiser for Aarcha R S, the Founder of A Slam Dream's initiative Teach for Peace. The tour aims at spreading spoken word poetry and raising funds for causes such as the Middle Eastern refugee crisis. A Slam Dream is the only established slam poetry group in South India and one of four slam poetry groups from India to have represented India at an International Slam Poetry Conference in 2015. With its motto 'Poetry for a Cause', the group has been trying to use poetry and art as a medium of expression and change. Started in 2015, the group has spread across the country and has been successful in shedding some limelight on spoken word poetry.

But what is spoken word poetry? It is the kind of poetry that is written to be performed. It is an ancient art form that is slowly taking up its place among mainstream art forms.

What to expect: Figure of Speech Tour includes interactive sessions, workshops, performances and poetry slams(friendly competitions of slam poetry are called poetry slams), depending on your request and choice, headed by our young Founder, Aarcha R S.

So, we bring to you our curious tour to your favorite venue: Lamakaan on 24th April 2016, Sunday from 4 pm to 6 pm.

It is open to all those 11 years and above and cost Rs 200, all of which goes into charity.
